George Paulding Farnham (1859-1927) was born in New York City. His aunt
married Charles T Cook, who assumed presidency of Tiffany after the death of
Charles L Tiffany in 1902. Farnham attended Tiffany school and was trained by
Edward C Moore and Charles Gosjean. He stayed with Tiffany
and eventually became a board member in 1888 and in 1893
was appointed chief designer and head of jewelry later also
assuming the role of artistic director of the silver department as well. His
flatware designs were similar to jewelry designs, very ornate, elaborate, and
in "beaux arts" tradition. He created six full sterling lines for
Tiffany during his time, before leaving Tiffany in 1908.
